IEEE ComSoc selected publications: “Offloading in Mobile Edge Computing: Task Allocation and Computational Frequency Scaling,” by T. Q. Dinh, J. Tang, Q. D. La and T. Q. S. Quek. IEEE Transactions on Communications, vol. 65, no. 8, pp. 3571-3584, Aug. 2017.

In this work, an optimization framework is proposed for offloading from a single mobile device (MD) to multiple edge devices. The aim is to minimize both total tasks’ execution latency and the MD’s energy consumption by jointly optimizing the task allocation decision and the MD’s central process unit (CPU) frequency.
